Age of Empires Castle Siege Wiki

"Perhaps the most famous Arab warrior, Saladin conquered Syria and is remembered for his nobility and honor in conquests."


Summary

  • Saladin can use the Launch special ability to allow his trebuchet to hit targets at extreme ranges for heavy damage (drag the Ability button onto the desired target).
  • High HP for a Trebuchet unit.
  • Good damage and great range with special ability.
  • Slow.
  • Engineer Trap, Ballista Tower and Trebuchet Emplacement are his weaknesses.
  • The range of his ability is 6.5 tiles.

Offensive Strategy

  • Saladin is best used to take out Trebuchet Emplacement from range using his ability. He can also take out any other tower that is in the way. Make sure to use distraction units so that he is not the target.
  • One of the best heros given that despite his ability he still remains extremely useful as a buffed up Trebuchet.

Trivia

  • Saladin has had his damage increased so that he can reliably take out most towers in a single ability use (except for Crossbow Tower Lv6 and the Musket Tower). (Patch 1.11)
